3. Antigua to Grenada
JANUARY 3-9, 2026 // 7 DAYS // 4 CREW // 310NM // $3,850
English Harbour, Antigua to Tyrell Bay, Grenada
This passage will leave beautiful Antigua and head 300 nautical miles south across the clear blue waters of the Caribbean.
The trades will be in full force this time of year and we will try to wait for them to swing slightly north of east before we leave Antigua. Depending on the wind angle and strength we will spend 2 to 3 nights at sea and hopefully have time to explore an anchorage or two, on one or both ends of the trip. Both Antigua and Grenada offer many beautiful anchorages to the cruising sailor as well as a vibrant culture ashore.
This trip will offer an opportunity to experience the strength of the Caribbean Trades and how to effectively cover ground down the island chain. There will be shipping/coastal traffic to deal with, and routing will be important as many of the islands we will be passing have significant localized effects on weather. Oh and don’t forget we should have a day or two for adventures ashore/at anchor and time to soak in a Caribbean sunset.
